Going once....going twice, gone!
That is about how it felt over the last fourteen days as Sydnie lost BOTH of her two front teeth! (It seems like they have been loose forever!) What is it about kids getting those big, grown-up teeth--right there in the front? I feel like it is one of the last official steps of sucking the "baby" out of my baby. She is already looking like such a big, grown-up little thing (not to mention she already is as tall as my chest!)
Sydnie is, of course, thrilled. Most of her other friends have already sent those beautiful, baby front teeth off to the Tooth Fairy. Tonight, Sydnie eagerly awaits the arrival of her friend, the Tooth Fairy, to bestow her with gifts in exchange for that last glorious symbol of being a "little" girl...my little girl. Hopefully that Tooth Fairy takes an extra moment as she conducts the delicate exchange to put her aching heart aside and place a fairy dust wish upon the head of that precious girl as she takes that precious tooth.
She is one fantastic and incredible girl!
May she continue to grow in beauty and grace...and may her two front teeth also do the same, please? ;)
